More often, however, a lump in this area is from a Bartholin gland cyst, which is much more common (and is not a cancer). Soreness and a red, scaly area are symptoms of Paget disease of the vulva.
Causes. Experts believe that the cause of a Bartholin's cyst is a backup of fluid. Fluid may accumulate when the opening of the gland (duct) becomes obstructed, perhaps caused by infection or injury. A Bartholin's cyst can become infected, forming an abscess.

The most common complication of treatment of Bartholin abscess is recurrence. Rare case reports exist of necrotizing fasciitis after abscess drainage. A theoretical risk exists for development of toxic shock syndrome with packing. Nonhealing wounds may occur.
ICD-10 code N76. 4 for Abscess of vulva is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
Perineural cysts, which are also known as Tarlov cysts, are fluid-filled sacs that form on the nerve root sheath, most commonly in the sacral area of the spine. They can also occur anywhere else in the spine. They form around the roots of nerves.
A Bartholin cyst is a buildup of fluid that occurs if the opening of the gland is blocked. A Bartholin abscess may occur if the cyst fluid becomes infected. The Bartholin cyst or abscess appears as a lump or swelling on the side of the vaginal opening.
Should I pop a Bartholin cyst? You should never squeeze, pop or insert sharp objects like needles into a cyst to force it to open. This can cause injury and spread infection. It is normal for a Bartholin cyst to drain on its own after several days of treatment (like after sitz baths or with antibiotics).
This infection is often a side effect of irritation caused by shaving or waxing hair from the pubic area. A bump may be painful and start small but can grow larger and into a boil. Another common cause of a vaginal boil is a Bartholin gland cyst.
If a Bartholin's abscess worsens and goes untreated, the infection could spread to other organs in your body. The infection may enter your bloodstream, a condition called septicemia. This condition is dangerous because the infection can be carried throughout your whole body.
If a Bartholin abscess bursts, it may resolve on its own in a few days without treatment. However, it is advisable to visit the doctor to avoid the spread of the infection. Your doctor will usually advise you to soak the labia in warm water (sitz bath) and prescribe you antibiotics and pain medications.
Medication and antibiotics are used to treat Bartholin's abscesses as the infection is mostly caused by pathogens. Antibiotic therapy may not be necessary for healthy women with uncomplicated abscesses. Antibiotic therapies include Ceftriaxone, Ciprofloxacin, Doxycycline and Azithromycin.
A Bartholin's cyst, also known as Bartholinitis occurs when a Bartholin's gland is blocked and the gland becomes inflamed. Sizes range from that of a pea to that of an egg and form just within each side of the lower part of the opening of the vagina. An abscess may form if the cyst becomes infected.
